Bump Date: 17 Weeks

Happy Friday! We’ve had a busy week with potty training Cameron, preschool for Kaiden and getting ready for Cameron’s 2nd birthday party this weekend. I can hardly believe our baby is two years old… two years have come and gone so quickly. They are not kidding when they say these years fly by {cue the tears}.

A piece of Cameron’s Birthday Banner my BFF helped me make.

BUMP DATE time!

How Far Along? 17 weeks. Almost halfway there!

Size of Baby: I use the Ovia app which is way more fun for baby sizes. You can choose a theme from cute, tiny animals to pastries to fun games. A couple weeks ago the baby was the size of a Treasure Troll. Yep, you remember those from way back when? This week baby is the size of a Playstation controller!

Weight Gain: 5 pounds… at this time in Cameron’s pregnancy I was already up at least 15 pounds… So I’m very proud of myself for keeping my eating in check and continuing to lift.

Maternity Clothes: None yet! My current SAHM status (more on that later) has allowed a lot more yoga {pants} and a lot less of real pants, but I’m still fitting into my regular jeans as of now.

Stretch marks: None yet. I did get some with Cameron so I expect those will come back again as baby bump grows, but I have no new marks and didn’t get any last time until the very end (near 36 weeks).

Symptoms: I am happy to say I have little to no symptoms right now. Which is weird for me to say! Once I got into the second trimester I almost immediately started feeling better. My energy is back to normal (or close to it), I’m not puking everyday and I no longer am nauseous every other second. I was also getting really bad headaches which seems to be a recurring first trimester ailment for me. I honestly feel really good right now which is something I never truly got to say with my first pregnancy. The only “ailment” is my sciatica pinching. Which happened around the same time during my 1st pregnancy, so again seems to be another recurring symptom.

Cravings: No real cravings right now. I don’t have much of an appetite really. And tend to be eating more carbs than I probably should be when I do eat.

Aversions: While it’s not necessarily an aversion, but something I’m usually obsessed with and haven’t been wanting as much…. COFFEE. Yep, coffee. If you know me, you know I cannot live without my coffee. Usually 2+ cups a day. But the last several weeks I’m barely able to drink my 1 cup in the morning which is just so strange for me! I just simply don’t have much of a taste for it these days. 🙁

Gender: Boy! As noted in my post last week 😉

Mood: A lot of mixed emotions lately…. as you saw from my gender reveal post I had a tough time thinking about life with three boys. But with each passing week I know that will change and honestly, I’m still

Nursery: Haha. That’s funny…. what’s a nursery? Neither of the boys got a nursery, so this one will likely not have one either. It’s only fair! 😉

Movement: I’ve been feeling flutters since week 11. They come and go sporadically through the day, but no real movement just yet.

Sleep: Sleeping like a champ. I’m notorious for falling asleep quickly and that hasn’t changed yet.

Workouts: Running after/picking up a 3 and 2 year old all day, but also getting in 3-4 lift sessions per week (usually….) with a little cardio here and there.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope! Thank you Jesus!

Best Moment Last Week: Not feeling sick! I am so, SO thankful for feeling good. It is not something I take likely after having a really rough pregnancy the entire time with Cameron.

Looking Forward To: Our anatomy scan in a couple weeks! I love seeing our little guy on the screen and am eager to make sure he is growing as he should be.
